Porthcawl - Impossible Arete Area

(Difference between revisions)

Revision as of 18:52, 25 June 2014

Tucked away in a narrow zawn between the Frozen Wave Area and Box Bay, this wall contains a number of good problems. Descriptions to follow.

V1 Start beneath the arete, and climb directly up on good holds.
V3 Reach up to sometimes-damp holds, then make a powerful move up to good holds in the mid-height break. From here a superb move using the obvious sidepull/undercut leads to the top.
TBC Unconfirmed line, may change.
L'arete Possible (f7A+ / V7) Former impossible arete project. Start matched on flatty left of obvious jug, slap your way up to gain some amazing fontesque slopers (sans friction) to find jugs back from lip. The plinth right of obvious jug is obviously out and jumping to top from jug is called als dyno v1. You gotta climb the amazing feature tick!!!! FA Liam Fyfe 2014
Als Dyno (f5+ / V2) Right of l'arete possible, starts matched on obvious jug leading to a tricky jump and catch top. Again plinth to right is out !!!!!

-#'''Impossible Arete Project''' Described erroneously as a project, as it is, as the name suggests, impossible. Now there's a challenge! From the obvious low jugs, levitate up the arete, making good use of no holds at all.
